Nehemiah 7
1 Now it happened, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
Esi míewu gli la ɖoɖo nu, de ʋɔtru agboawo nu, eye míetia agbonudzɔlawo, hadzilawo kple Levitɔwo la,
2 that I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the commander of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
metsɔ Yerusalem dzikpɔkpɔ de asi na nɔvinye Hanani kple Hananiya, ame siwo nye mɔ la dzikpɔlawo. Wonye nuteƒewɔla siwo vɔ̃a Mawu wu ame geɖewo.
3 I said to them, "Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his house."
Mede se na wo be, womaʋu Yerusalem ƒe agboawo o va se ɖe esime ɣe nadze nyuie hafi, eye woatu wo, ade ga wo me le esime dzɔlawo aganɔ gliawo ŋu dzɔm ko. Mede se hã be ele be dzɔlawo nanye Yerusalemtɔwo, eye woawɔ dɔ edziedzi. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ele be ame sia ame si ƒe aƒe te ɖe gli la ŋu la, nadzɔ gli la ƒe akpa si tsɔ ɖe egbɔ la ŋu.
4 Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few in it, and the houses were not built.
Du la lolo, gake emenɔlawo mesɔ gbɔ o, xɔawo hã mesɔ gbɔ o, ke boŋ woɖe ɖe aga tso wo nɔewo gbɔ le du la me.
5 My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written in it:
Nye Mawu dae ɖe nye dzi dzi be mayɔ takpekpe na bubumewo, dɔnunɔlawo kple ame hahoawo ne woaŋlɔ ŋkɔ ɖe woƒe ƒomeawo me. Mekpɔ ame gbãtɔ siwo gbɔ tso aboyome la ƒe dzidzimegbalẽ. Nu siwo woŋlɔ ɖe eme la woe nye.
6 These are the people of the province, who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, everyone to his city;

61 These were those who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer; but they could not prove their ancestral houses, nor their descent, whether they were of Israel:
